Department of Photography and Imaging Extra Credit

Exploring the NYU Tish building i viewed several works of art from other students. I will say i am very impressed by most of these works from the exhibition but the ones that stood ot to me the most wold have to be “Cachaça é Café” by Danielle Braga Jones. the photos below stood out to me the most with how organically composed these are. i will address that the focusing on these images are a little blurry, but that seems to add to the more organic feeling of the photo especially since she is focussing on family relations and nothing is ever perfect with family but its always loving and that is what im feeling from these photo peace and tranquility.

the other student that i loved work from would be “A Man’s Work” by Sky Algosaibi-Jones. The composition of both of these phots were astethically pleasing seeing ass how the subject is centered frame alongside the contrast of colors. the only thing i can even critque would be the noise in the phtotos seems to bother my eye a little when view the collection. the man picking up garbage was my favorite with how the depth of fiels stands out and rings the subject forward

Homework #1

 

Joey Lawrence has a fantastic composition of lighting and portrait skills. He focuses lighting contrast around the subject and allowing the shadows to define the models structures. The model Robert Deniro is present a state of confidence. The image displays sharply and focuses on the eyes as they should when taking portraits. Joey Lawrence has the skills I hope to acquire someday as I study photography more.

Learning Log 10

Today we learned about getting studio lighting outside with the equipment we used. We used an external light attached to an umbrella to mimic the softlight. The lighting was difficult when adjusting it toh the low exposure settings in the enviroment. the results were so pleasing thogh to see the light fill out the way they should.

Learning Log #9

Today in class we walked around Dumbo messing around with natural and artificial lighting when it got darker. The shot with the cat i had use the bulb in the store to light the cat as much as possible since he was in the store. my second shot has a great LED lighting on my model for the photo. My third and final shot is of the manhattan bridge from below with barely any lighting so i had bump my ISO very high to get the silhouette of the bridge.

Learning Log #5

Today was light painting , we focused on many portions of light and how they move against the shutter speed. we used the speed light to focus on our selves. My favorite use was the use of the pixel stick in which we can see the second photo we created the silhouette of this model. the first photo is of myself and how i used the time of the shutter speed against itself with moving in slight positions with the time given.

 

Learning Log #3

Split

Loop

Rembrandt

 

Broad

Short

 

In Class today we learned about Split, Loop, Rembrandt, Broad, and Short lighting on a subject. Taking these angles into consideration it adds more emotion to the subject and highlights their features significantly well when placed properly.
